Brighton

We hired a car for the weekend and headed south. Took nearly two hours for us to navigate our way out of London. Realised how we really don't know the streets of London, but just the underground. The Friday night traffic didn't help of course, but next time we'll have to remember our A to Z.

We arrived in Brighton at around 11pm at our B & B that we had booked. A really nice old school B & B run by two gay boys... check it out - Colson House. We stayed in the Judy Garland room and even got to watch the Wizard of Oz.

Brighton is what the English think a beach is! Pebble stones and not much else... Definitely makes me realise how beautiful NZ beaches really are. We thought we'd try fish 'n chips as we've been hanging out for some good ones ever since we left... but after many disappointing times, this was the worst! We have seriously promised ourselves never to have fiddy chip in England ever again! For those of you back home, have some for us!

We drove to another air show in Eastbourne which is about 30 miles from Brighton. Was nice to see their stunts again, but after Farnborough, it was nothing :)
